Just a call!

she: Hello “Is this ----?
me: Yes speaking!
she: I am from a placement agency .You are working with ------?
me: Yes, I have worked there till November 2007, I am not working presently.
she: May I know why you are not working?
me: I got married in December and just wanted to settle in the new life. I decided to take a break.
she: So it is nearly a year now!
me: Yes.
she:I had openings but I don’t want to talk about it with someone who is sitting at home for a year. Anyways I will talk to the consultant.

With this she kept the phone. There have been many instances when I have received calls from the consultant and the moment I tell them that I am in a break they just make an excuse. However, this was the first time that someone was so honest, spontaneous and blunt with me.

Frankly speaking, this is a buyer's market in such slowdown. And they would much rather prefer a hands-on person for the same salary.
You gonna have to reduce your salary demand in this case. You could tell your consultants this fact straightaway that you are open in terms of salary. Have patience and when tide turns, you can get back to what you deserve :).
